I'm not a fast editor. But I do want reliable gear and do get stressed some times
how long it takes to back up drives.

I use OWC SoftRaid for formatting my drives and monitoring their health.
I organize my projects into folders within a RAID 5 or JBOD.
Then I back up to same capacity single drives for each folder which will be 80% of the size of the drives that populate the raids. Last go round I used 6TB drives x4 per raid. Noe I figure going to 8TB drives x 6per raid.
